R_H = (C_f/((1/n)*A_cs))^(3/2)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Hydraulic Radius of Channel - (Measured in Meter) - Hydraulic Radius of Channel is the ratio of the cross-sectional area of a channel or pipe in which a fluid is flowing to the wet perimeter of the conduit.
Conveyance Factor - Conveyance factor is the ratio of the discharge, Q, in a channel to the square root of the energy gradient, Sf.
Manning’s Roughness Coefficient - Manning’s Roughness Coefficient represents the roughness or friction applied to the flow by the channel.
Cross-Sectional Area of Channel - (Measured in Square Meter) - Cross-Sectional Area of Channel is the area of a two-dimensional shape that is obtained when a three-dimensional shape is sliced perpendicular to some specified axis at a point.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Conveyance Factor: 700 --> No Conversion Required
Manning’s Roughness Coefficient: 0.012 --> No Conversion Required
Cross-Sectional Area of Channel: 15 Square Meter --> 15 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

R_H = (C_f/((1/n)*A_cs))^(3/2) --> (700/((1/0.012)*15))^(3/2)

Evaluating ... ...
